For the past 6 months I've been experiencing brake issues. It happens randomly, sometimes while I am driving (at speeds ranging from 20-65 mph) and sometimes when I am stopped at a stop sign. It even happened while I was sitting in traffic on a hill driving into yosemite valley! when it happend, the car issues a warning saying that there is a brake failure and to pull over safely. It feels as if something is dragging on the front wheels and the car stops on its own. I took it to local mechanic but they couldn't diagnose the issue and suggested I take it to Hyundai. I took it into Hyundai this weekend and the mechanic said that they were familiar with the issue and says it has something to do with the hydraulic brakes alerting the system to brake when it shouldn't be. It's going to cost me around $2500 to fix it, which is a hefty sum and unfortunately will have to come out of my wedding budget for my wedding in 6 months. It sounds like something Hyundai should take care of. This is incredibly dangerous, I could've gotten into an accident if the cars behind and around me were not paying attention when the brake failures occurred. I thought I would be okay if it happened after once or twice. But I got really scared when it happened in yosemite since there was no place to pull over so I decided to take it in.

My car is experiencing an intermittent problem with the electronic parking brake getting stuck. Sometimes when I shift out of park going into reverse or drive the activated electronic parking brake will fail to disengage like it should. When this happens I will find myself having to move the shifter back and fourth several times until it finally disengages. This occurrence will always be accompanied with an abrupt rough jerking motion coming from underneath the car.

I had an accident this morning in my 2015 Hyundai Sonata se due to brake failure a vehicle stopped in front of me about one-and-a-half crawler and I applied my breaks because I saw when the vehicle stops when I apply my brakes they didn't work it went completely to the floor and had no breaks whatsoever and I slammed into the back of another vehicle at about 45 miles per hour all of the airbags deployed the steering wheel crack the front of my car is demolished I contacted Hyundai to try to find out whether they had a recall on break for the Sonatas and they said that there were no open recall on my car so I found it very strange that they said no open recall on my car but they never said that they didn't have open have any incidents with people with brake failure and I just wanted to make this publicly known that there is an issue with the brakes and I wish if there's anybody else out there that has had a similar problem they would come forward with this because I wasn't hurt very very badly but I got bumps and bruises but I could have died the same way if I was going at a high rate of speed and someone should have stopped I could have killed myself and someone else.
